3D apparently isn’t hurting plugin makers…

[Aindreas Gallagher] “Where are the keyframing tools? Why is X still as stupid as it is for keyframing?”

Yes, Premiere gives you visual, numerical, and linear controls for key framing. All easily accessible.

Sure would be great to have this in X. Oh, wait… I do have that and, subjectively, it’s easier on the eyes. 😉

Seriously, don’t even go there. There is absolutely no comparison and I’ve never heard anyone even suggest it nor defend FCPs keyframing. But it’s the nature of NLEs. Adobe is the exception. Motion is pretty good, but useless for basic NLE keyframing if you can’t send to motion. That used to be the excuse. FCP legacy keyframing sucked too but if you couldn’t make it work Motion was there almost like a basic modal extension of the app.

The extension makers sure can’t complain about that. Making motion a one way trip has been wonderful for them.

I already have volumetric. Rarely use it. Light rays were so 90s. 3D however is everywhere. You’d be hard pressed to find a broadcast promo that didn’t at least have a logo or end graphic that’s 3D. I love it. And I’ve barely used it but for a couple minor graphics. Just added a little something.

lol… Well, as I said, my key framing needs are pretty basic, and in 10.2 it seems much better for the kind of stuff pictured in the screenshots above.

I don’t do much keyframing in X myself. Like Bret said, if I’m going to build anything that needs detailed key framing I do it in Motion.

I also tend to start whatever I’m trying to build in Motion to begin with, then I bring that into X

While send to Motion would be cool to have back, since I like to start in Motion anyway it’s not as big a deal for me. I organize my Motion files in a folder that I make it’s own Event so I can get to them fast in a project.

I was building a nuclear chain reaction the other day. I just wouldn’t want to start anything like this in any NLE

Hi Charlie,

[Charlie Austin] “Yes, Premiere gives you visual, numerical, and linear controls for key framing. All easily accessible. “

Beyond that, Premiere Pro has different keyframe interpolations: Ease In, Ease Out, Linear, Bezier, Auto Bezier, Continuous Bezier, and Hold.

Just so you know your options.

Thanks,
Kevin

Is there a hold keyframe option or does the razor blade get involved for this option?

Yes, there is a hold keyframe option in PPro.
